"Part of being a winner is knowing when enough is enough. Sometimes you have to give up the fight and walk away, and move on to something that's more productive."
--Donald Trump

I've finally made it to my breaking point...
I've never quit anything that I started. I really haven't, it's not in my nature to quit. I've often marveled at my own level of willful perseverance. I get knocked down, beat up, and kicked, yet somehow I keep getting up asking for more.
This quality is most evident in my personal relationships and educational career. While I'm no where near giving up on my education, my personal relationships are definitely in turmoil.
2006 has probably been the most trying year for myself, my REAL friends, and my personal relationships. I am beginning to lose my ability to find the value in other people who I am not already acquainted with. Why? I feel the need to defend myself. Defend myself from what? From the pain that goes along with having a big heart. I have been truly heartbroken by certain people that I held near to me this year.
My outlook is atypical of what's to be expected. Many would be frustrated and see it as just another casualty of life. I think it's only a matter of people eliminating themselves. God is pruning me. Shedding dead weight from my circle. While it may be somewhat frustrating and painful on my end, I know it's for the better.
To all those that I've loved and lost, thank you for teaching me a valuable lesson in my life. Some things we just can't change...peace out. Enjoy your life, stay blessed.
